The city was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1999 for being a unique example of an unwalled colonial city. Its name comes from the fact that it was built on an old lagoon that existed in the area.
Historically, the Canary Islands have been a strategic point -cultural, social and economic- between Europe and Latin America.
